This study investigates the protective effects of ASPN in cardiac myocytes under ischemia-reperfusion stress using an in vitro model, finding it modulates apoptosis, autophagy, and fibrosis-related pathways.

This study shows chronic IFN exposure impairs heart function by causing mitochondrial stress, mtDNA release, and a self-sustaining inflammatory loop in cardiomyocytes.

This study shows that laboratory evolution of Mycobacterium smegmatis under fluoroquinolone pressure leads to extreme drug resistance through overexpression of an efflux pump, without mutations in drug target genes.

This study identifies sex-based proteomic differences in iPSC-derived vascular smooth muscle cells and their potential impact on cardiovascular disease.
